Silent Space soon on Xbox

Crytek Studios located in German has plans on releasing several games for multiple next-generation consoles. As you may remember reading, they are currently talking to a few well known publishing houses and plans to release Engalus, a first-person action-adventure, and X-Isle, a first-person shooter. Now Crytek wants to make a sci-fi strategy game Silent Space for the Xbox, PS 2 and PC. Faruk Yerli, president of Crytek made this comment about Silent Space, "Currently we are in negotiation with some publishers. We know that the game would be fantastic, but you surely know that without funding no game could be finished. We believe that Silent Space could break the limits of other space games, and we will soon announce the future of all of our projects."

Information on the details of this game are limited, but Yerli thinks that the games in-depth strategy and actual gameplay mechanics are its strong points. "Unlike the shallow World War II combat of its predecessors, Silent Space adds depth to the combat mechanics of sci-fi gaming, while still maintaining the classic style and true physics of the genre. Our advanced AI system uses true military tactics to reach the full capacity of its vessels, and it adapts to the players every move. In the single-player mode, a rich campaign is set within the Silent Space universe, with unique mission designs dealing with the ongoing events of a war, which has nearly destroyed humanity."
